Adding Stock
Initially, you can add stock levels to products by using Stock In transactions. You can have multiple Stock In transactions per product, but the software won't start adjusting stock levels without at least 1 Stock In transaction on a product.
In order to add a Stock In transaction to a product you need to do the following:
- From the main Stock screen, select the product you wish to add stock to.
- Once selected, the stock levels grid will appear to the top right of the screen.
- Next, double click on the stock level you wish to increase.
- Choose a Date for your Transaction.
- Now choose 'Stock In' from the Type drop down.
- You can then enter a Quantity, an alternate Cost Price and a Reference.
- Click Save in the toolbar, and your Stock In transaction will be displayed in the list.
